The Health
Department is committed to targeting
the common risk factors that contribute to the development of chronic diseases
such as diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular disease. The agency’s
strategies for the prevention and management of chronic diseases supports programming
to promote healthy behaviors, early detection and diagnosis of metabolic
syndrome, community-specific outreach
and education activities and chronic disease self-management. Anticipated changes for FY 2019 include the
addition of two staff that will enable the agency to reach 20% more residents
through health promotion activities and 15% more through direct program
interventions.
